More than frustrating!
Was looking forward to a good weekend at cadwell, it was pretty much the only round I had planned to do this year.
Quali: P5 (P3 in class)
ended up 5th on the grid for race one, decent result considering a little spitting of rain made the session interesting.
Race 1: DNF
I started to get on a decent pace and got a couple laps in when I ground out into Charlie's 2, and it spun the back end round. Really frustrating crash, considering how much damage it had done. Nonetheless, we were ready to go for Race 2.
Race 2: DNS
Best to not go into too much detail. Myself and 3 other riders followed paddock protocol and arrived to assembly on time, only to not be allowed to race. We received an apology for the incident, though still very disappointing.
Race 3:DNF (technical proplem)
Not much to say, had to pull in as the bike was falling apart π.
Race 4: 4th in class
Finally! A result, it was a tight battle for 3rd, that came just about to the line. I struggled with a little arm pump near the end of the race, and had I known I was in for a podium spot, I would've maybe gone for that risky lunge. Either way, I'm happy to get at least one decent result at the end of a funny weekend.
That's about it for me this year, the piggy bank is running dry, I'd love to get a couple more outings booked in if I win the lottery, but we will look forward to next year!
Massive thank you to everyone involved!
